Nondisp fx of trapezium, right wrist, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the trapezium bone of the right wrist that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The fracture is contained within the skin and soft tissues, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site. This is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right trapezium, confirmed by imaging (e.g., X-ray). This applies to initial treatment encounters, such as emergency department visits or initial orthopedic consultations, for closed fractures.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right wrist" for the trapezium fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not an open fracture.
